Neither! TR Motor, would like to think they are part of it. But RR will not give IP rights to TR Motor. So only scenario I see is RR/Kale produce the engine in Turkey under license with permission to sell to third parties and sell it to Tusas. They may use TEI for some parts. But whether they...

I fully and strongly agree with you. We can not afford to delay the next 3 ships like we did with the milgem corvettes. These three ships and the Reis submarines are vital. In fact the modernisation of Barbaros Class is important too. But I guess it can start the minute the F515 Istanbul is in...

Thermally Modulated Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries This is a new battery technology being developed. 10 minute charge, no adverse effects of li-ion or li-hydride or li-polymer batteries. Much cheaper longer life (expected to last 2 million miles). It does not catch fire. And most importantly...

UAV‘s and missiles were new to us when we started putting them in our inventory. You are correct that We are not the ones who decide. But we are here to make a point. I respect your point even if I do not agree with it. So let us say we agree to disagree!

The only thing obvious is the fact that there are people in the army that think that what they are used to is the best. Every new tech will bring with itself many criticisms. Bayraktar TB2 is a good example. You outright say “Turkey cannot chose” without giving any credible reason as to why...

Good point! But a tank like Altay that is designed against radioactivity leakage and can go under water, should be airtight enough not to allow graphite dust to come in. With a battery-less system you are describing, you are introducing a transmission in to the equation. This will will defeat...

If you check how a hydrogen fuel cell operates you will find that , when hydrogen is burnt with oxygen the energy obtained is used to charge batteries that drive an electric motor.

Your mindset is still stuck on an all electric car. I gave Tesla S as an example of HP power. This car is light does 0 to 100kph in less than 3 seconds. We are talking about a HYBRID tank engine. All of the electricity is coming from a diesel engine; either by charging the batteries or by...

This is an all electric car you are showing. We are talking about electro-diesel hybrid. The power needed for electric drive-train is around 800-900hp. We are talking about a HYBRID engine! Just look at Tesla S specifications. All electric. 825 HP. Powered by a Li-Ion battery pack. Li-Ion are...

I would like to add about the performance of DC powered engines; Electric motors have maximum torque even at 0 , that is zero, revolutions. The driving force of an electric motor is torque - not horsepower. The torque is the twisting force that makes the motor running and the torque is active...

Sn Orkunhun, Just check HSL-700 Aselsan/Tulomsas engine. You have your answer there. That hybrid electro Diesel engine develops 940 HP combined with Li-Ion battery pack. Drives a 68 ton locomotive at 80km/hr. Make it 50% more powerful and you have a winner...

For a given size and power level, there is no other tank engine in the world that can come close to a German MTU engine. Just check the size and compactness and see if there is another engine that develops 1500hp and 4500Nm torque with same fuel usage and dependability. South Korean Doosan and...

Deniz Kuvvetletinin özgün savaş gemisi inşa programı kapsamında, Ada Sınıfı 4 Korvetin arkasından projelendirilen ‘İ’ (İstif) sınıfı Fırkateynlerin birincisi olan İSTANBUL Fırkateyni 23 OCAK 2021 Cumartesi günü DzKK lığı İstanbul Tersanesinde denize indirilecektir. Turkish Navy’s indigenously...

I remember reading somewhere how a 90000dollar JDAM we were trying to buy had become 25000dollars overnight, when we produced our HGK bomb for 27000dollars, to stop us producing it. This is similar! Now that Batu engine is coming to life and soon there may even be a transmission to go with it...

Actually 10th point says: 10. Urges States to refrain from the supply of any weapons and munitions which might lead to an intensification of the conflict or the continued occupation of territory; ”Urges” being the operative word. Since Russia was the country that was supplying arms to Armenia...

Not impossible if “Court of Accounts” (Sayıştay) reports were allowed to happen. Normally these are actual exports made by the individual companies even if they were government owned. So their exports would be registered and shown on their accounts ledger. We know these sales occurred since our...

One thing I was wondering is ; During the Azerbaijan/Karabagh and Libya conflict, Turkey sold hundreds of millions dollar worth of equipment and ammunition to these two countries. Does any body know where this money was channelled to? Or what we have done with it? Who has benefited from it? I...

Yes! SOM was integrated to f4-2000‘s as Popeye replacement. But Popeyes were used in olive branch because they were probably way past their shelf life and needed to be expended.

I don’t quite get how it will be a replacement of Popeye missile! This is is a free fall glide bomb in essence. It has no propulsion. If dropped from ~40000 ft, as is, it has a gliding range of around 28km. However as it can also have a wing-kit, it’s range would exceed 100km in free fall...
